80 tiles... sounds like quite a project, but I'm sure you're up for it and it looks like you're off to a good start. I like the hub design for the area. I'll look forward to seeing the main avenue, and the rest of the area, when its completed.

threestooges:Here's a little preview of how the avenue is looking, thanks!
Emperor Stormont: welcome to the Kingdom,thanks for that nice comment!
Simpson:thanks, glad you like it
Sciurus: wow... thanks a lot!
tcx: thanks!
mrtnrln: glad you like it, but this is only the old-downtown area, a lot of work is forward
bat: thanks!

First of all, I'm sorry for not posting in over a week, but real live has been hectic... lots of exams in school, lots of soccer training (a second division team is interested in me), organizing an International Model of the United Nations in my school.... anyway... a lot of things to do

I made a little change in the layout of the old-downtown, as a result the main avenue has been shorten to 56 tiles, here's tow pics of the second, and largest section, of the avenue:

this section is conformed by four lots: the avenue (31x4), the intersection (2x6) and the sidewalks, one on each side (31x1 each)

and since IT IS the capital city, we need to add certain details like a presidential convoy or something. The avenue also has bus stops on both sides, and all the trees are seasonal.

Other details:
·Two textures used were made by me
·On the sidewalk, there is people, but they're timed props, so they can't be seen here
·Also, I used porkie's tree leaves, they show on fall
·The bunch of people seen in the middle of the avenue is to simulate a large crowd waiting for a signal change to cross to the other side
·Jeronij's buses were used, but the are also timed props
·The bus stops are the ones of the SFBT parking lots

Well.... I'll try to end the first section today so the update might be tomorrow, but again, no promises
And to finish, a little quote
"We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not yet learned the simple art of living together as brothers."
-Martin Luther King Jr.

Sweet! I love the procession. And the sidewalks are very nice. I need those!

Pat · February 23, 2009, 06:24:05 PM

Looking very good there Alan!!!

art128 · February 24, 2009, 02:49:52 AM

Wow -- that looks massive there Alan, impressive work my friend.
Can't wait to see more of it.

Arthur.

Ah and where you get that texture of sidewalk?

MandelSoft · February 24, 2009, 02:58:11 AM

Good L.E. work

I like the avenue. I hope that the area surrounding it will be just as good as this.

bat · February 24, 2009, 10:18:17 AM

The avenue-textures are looking really good! And nice sidewalk!!

threestooges · March 01, 2009, 03:27:12 AM

Congratulations on a successful month in OSITM Alan. Being able to keep up with school (and a model UN) while running one of these things is quite a task, but you seem to be doing quite well. The avenue looks great, and I can only imagine how it will look once it begins to be filled in with buildings. Great work.

Simpson · March 01, 2009, 03:54:42 AM

This is a fantastic work on the LE, my friend. Great work

metarvo · March 01, 2009, 05:45:29 AM

One of these days, you'll make it to OSITM again, Alan, especially with this kind of LE ability. That avenue is very good, if I do say so myself.

alan_vzla · July 06, 2009, 08:22:09 PM

Hi everyone!, after a long time I can finally play SC4 again

I've been working on some lots fore Pretoria, these lots will be placed along the main avenue; these lots can bes een either on the show us your custom lots thread, or at my thread on the LBT sub-forum. Since I'm finally on vacations, I'll be posting more constantly as the city advances, there wont be an total update per se, but small parts of the city developing

now, a picture for today; it may look simple, but I've been working on it for over 8 hours now, sincronizing all the lots and stuff

alan_vzla · July 07, 2009, 03:27:06 PM

Schulmanator: thanks! if you really need anything like that or another lot, just send me a PM and I will work on it
Pat: thanks!
art128:glad you like it, the texture is from NDEX Base Textures Set 1
mrtnrln: I'm trying to do it, let's see if this gets to your standards
bat:Thanks, glad you like them
threestooges: it truly is, thanks!
simpson: thanks!
metarvo: Thank you very much, I hope to get to the OSITM's another time too

Here's another update on the area surrounding the Avenue, here you can see that I finished 2 of the 3 quarters, all the boulevards and the market place, which is a combination of two different lots. The area besides the market will hold a hotel, and the area besides the palace is a secret

CabraBuitre · July 07, 2009, 09:41:36 PM

Looks good.... can't wait to see this develop!

FrankU · July 08, 2009, 02:45:47 AM

Looking good!
It is also nice to follow your work so closely. Hearing about your thoughts of how to do it is interesting. Please tell us more.
And then: so you do plop everything? Will there be there a moment that you push the "run" button? Or will you develop everything on the 1st of january in the year 0?
